To all-:whoii'il t may ccn'cernf Be 'it knownthat I, OTTO 1C. KADE,- a citiis a. full, true,clear and exact description,

such as will enable others tomake and -use thev'saine.

My invention relates to iml'iro'vt-ement'sA in' furniture for drug stores, ice cream parlors and like places Whereit is desirable 'to' `providevvi-thin very -limited space, seatings for many people, together with',sufficient table surface. to accommodate the dishes servedto-j' -The'special `objectsof my invention are to provide acombined `table and v.plurality .of

seats, which shall be of simplev construction-,

compact and rigid. Second z--to provide a'ff combined table and plurality of seats having 4 a frame in common againstwhich theseats and table are adapted to be-folded. Thirdito` provide a.- foldable combined ,table and 2'5 plurality .of` seats which caribe easily set. up for .use and knocked down .or folded to gether, :and which shall occupy' but a mini mum amount of space whengin either condi-- tion. And .fourth :'-to provide a foldable combined table and plurality of seatsadapted tof be folded together or knocked down. into a compact rigid for-in, of such shapeconsists generally. in a` combined table and plurality of seats having a supporting frame common thereto.A

The invention also consists a combined table and .pair of seats having a.v supporting neuia'riy in a foidabie, combineert-bie and..

framein common, the table being secured to the supporting frame above and between the] seats. I.

The-invention consists further and parplurality of seats having a' common supporting frame, the table and seats being hinged to the back frame',- the seat supporting mem- 'sers also beinghinged thereto, all of which are adapted to foldagainst the back frame in such a manner as to form a compact device."

In addition to the foregoing my invention .after described and skilled in the lart,-
